- A stellar, informative and powerful episode
April‘s podcasts are always excellent. In this episode, April allows us to see inside her own relationship with her partner boyfriend so that we can see one template of people committed to doing the learning about themselves and their partner who happens to be an adopted person. I appreciate the courage it took for April and Steven to reveal such a personal peek into their private lives.

United Statesa year ago - Great show and awesome for purpose!
April is a spearhead for those of us who have navigated the foster care system or adoption. Simply, are many sensitive issues that don’t get discussed and April makes these discussions meaningful, instructive and holistic in its discussions. Please share far and wide with adoptive parents and those in the foster care community. Great work, April!
Apple Podcasts5YAJ3United States2 years ago - Love the discussions!
As a transnational, transracial adoptee, I appreciate listening to the various guest speakers and discussions! Thank you, April, for your thoughtfulness and work!
Apple Podcasts5BorahaeReviewUnited States4 years ago - Thank you, April!
As a mom of three young kids who are transracially adopted, I so appreciate your openness and willingness to share your story and life experience. Your voice and others like yours are so valuable in helping adoptive parents learn to love their kids well. Thanks again!!
Apple Podcasts5akgeorge1230United States5 years ago - Grateful beyond words
I am a white Resource Parent and possibly one day Adoptive Parent. April and the brilliant Humans she has conversations with on her podcast have changed me. They have given me vocabulary when I had none. They open my eyes to things and given me perspective where I had no awareness. The conversations about the duality of emotions that exist in adoption and foster-care have been refreshing. I am forever grateful.
